IEC 62133 Testing
International safety certification for rechargeable cells and batteries is available because MPS is a CB Testing Laboratory. MPS performs the testing and Nemko provides the national certification mark. The CB Scheme allows customers to enter international markets. The scheme, promulgated by the IECEE, facilitates international acceptance of safety test results, normally without the need for additional testming. The goal is “one standard, one test, accepted everywhere.” The U.S., Canada, China, most of Europe, India, Japan and Mexico participate in the CB scheme.

RTCA DO-227 and DO-311 Testing
The Federal Aviation Administration requires certification to DO-227 for lithium and DO-311 for lithium-ion cells and batteries installed on aircraft. Testing is witnessed by an FAA Designated Engineering Representative. MPS serves on the committee drafting the replacement to DO-311.
